What to say??
   Babies are vulnerable in emergencies
   Artificially fed babies are particularly vulnerable in emergencies
   Use of infant formula or other milk products is dangerous in 
   emergencies and should be avoided 
   Breastfed babies are protected in emergencies
   Breastfeeding women are providing protection to their babies by 
   breastfeeding 
   Breastfeeding is a sign of strength and resilience
   The way to help babies survive an emergency is to help their 
   mothers continue breastfeeding
   The carers of artificially fed babies need intensive support
   Donations of infant formula are not needed and are unhelpful 
   Aid organisations need help from the media immediately after the 
   emergency starts to prevent the arrival of donations of infant formula 
   and other milk products
   Monetary donations will assist aid organisations to maximise the 
   survival of infants
